Word Hinged Desire

Word Hinged Desire

A Poem by Timely Disposition
"

She's sultry on the floor...the writing little whor-...err beautiful woman :)

"

 

There she stands
Beautiful,
Dark
Soft shaded hands
Filling my ears
With her fears
And s**t
Telling about life
And what to do with it
 
She’s distorted
But focused
Demeanor
Is hopeless
Life is one thing
And somehow
She knows this.
 
She twirls
And sings
Sans diamond rings
And I got this
Thing
 
For her
For sure
I want this blur
To go away.
The eyes have it
Today
And they trace
Their way
Across the soft
Curves of her roads
 
In her hand
She holds
A single white rose
And as she pulls
 It from her nose
 
She believes
It’s destiny.
 
I believe
It’s death to me.
 
I believe
It doesn’t have love’s position
With its lack of color
And thorny disposition.
 
She just smiles
And sets
The rose down
And gets
A red pair of sweats
and a book.
She sits.
Writes
Then looks
Me over
Can I hold her?
She’s 10,000 miles away.
 
Give me a break
Dear lord.
Can’t you see her
On the floor?
As she pours
And pours
Her soul into words
Rounds her nouns
Into herds
Of spotted sentences
And striped blurbs.
 
The page
Is a mess.
But her pen
Must be blessed.
Because the thoughts
Expressed
Progress
Undress
Then regress
In time.
Epic fantasy
Sublime.
I wish
She was mine.
I wish
All the
 
Time
I don’t have
To do this math
It’s half
Again
This fifth of gin
Before I
Stumble in
And sin
One can’t win
But she fills her pages.
 
She rages
In stages
Jealous of her sight
Insight
 
It’s all right
If the past
Won’t eat ya
 
It’s all night
If the love
Don’t beat ya
 
But my eyes
Are tired
They feel
On fire
From verbiage inspired.
From the word hinged desire.
